Aha… base penetration of 313 with a normal heavy gun… better reload than a Maus… more speed… 300 mm of armor and at this slope a guaranteed ricochet. 210 mm at the side with the damn same slope… no lower plate whatsoever and an aim time the old WT E 100 would be proud of.

Did anyone actually needed a buffed IS 7? I mean it was perfectly super awesome when it was in the game and it is still. But why not introduce more things which are actually not fightable with anachronistic tanks and just throw in more tanks which needed to be over tuned by a … lightyear.

Seriously: when an IS 7 looks weak in comparison your balance department just went overboard and some guy thought we need the super saiyan of tanks as a new tier 10.

There are battles when I want to drop and leave when I see a 907, T22, Defender, 257, 268-4 … and somehow they seriously went full Russian OP. For what reason anyone wants a Leopard 1? Or an E-100? Or for that sake an E4 or some others…

They cannot possibly release that on the live server as it is…Needs major buffs
Where is the invisibility cloak and the tactical nuke launcher? Too slow, not enough armour and the gun is crap….Sheesh its like other tanks were intended to pen it once in a blue moon…

The real thing had appaulingly bad traverse due to the 4 tracks but of course WG 4 tracks = double the traverse speed.

Ok… why not?
But then I would like to have access to M60A1, M60A2, MBT 70, Chieftain, Leopard 2A5, Leopard 2 prototypes, T-64, T-64A, T-62 (the one with 115mm gun), T-55AM, and some other crazy other 50’s and 60’s tanks and projects, too… And ammunition updates for most post-WW2 vehicles

Do you remember a few years ago, when WG kept sneaking in a sturmtiger in their developer diaries videos? The sturmtiger was fully modelled and probably had stats as op as this OBJ 279. But many years later the sturmtiger still isnt in wot, because it was just to good compared to other tanks

Even if the gun handling is overtuned and will be nerfed, this tank has a V shaped hull design to end all V shaped hull designs. I hope to god this isn’t the personal mission reward, either that or I hope they give it some fucking weak spot.

This is from last year. WG has already said that they couldn’t figure out a way to balance it for tier 10 so they won’t be bringing it into they game. It might appear as a “boss” for another special event like last halloween.

You should’ve at least mentioned that this think won’t come to the game, not as a tier 10 at least. The stats are just placeholders, pretty much, since they couldn’t really think of the way to balance it.

I somehow have a feeling this might be a special tank the same way the T22 was since there is no fking way this thing would be introduced like this, even with a 25% nerf to all stats it would still be the best heavy by far, WG wtf is this??

In a german new article the Object 279 was reffered as something similar as the Sturmtiger. Meaning it wont be a playable vehicle but rather some kind of Bossenemy for PVE or something completely different
